The wrong Woman novel by Ginny Not Genie novel Chapter 13

Chapter 13 

Suzanne then pointed at the bookshelf in the room and said, I’ve finished reading all the books on your shelf in the past few days.” 

Nathan asked her again, Are you not even going to consider it?” 

Suzanne lowered her eyes. No. I’ll leave tomorrow morning. I might never come back here again.” 

Nathan didn’t bother trying to convince her anymore

He just walked past her and entered the room, slowly unbuttoning his shirt as he said, When we’re home, don’t bring up the divorce with Grandma. It’ll only aggravate her illness.” 

Suzanne couldn’t help tightening her hold on the phone. She held it so tightly that she trembled

She simply couldn’t hold her emotions back and said, I’m sorry, but I noticed a photo of a little girl in one of your books. There was something written on the back. It said, My one true love, Sally Hoffis.“” 

Nathan paused, his hands still in the midst of undoing his buttons. His entire body turned rigid as he froze in place

His eyes turned dark. He said nothing

Suzanne felt a deep, throbbing pain in her heart. She didn’t know how to describe it. Since there was nothing she could do about it, she pretended not to be bothered by it

She said calmly, If I’m not mistaken, you’ve always wanted to marry Sally, right?” 

It took a long time for Nathan to snap back to reality and continue unbuttoning his shirt

He said nonchalantly, I liked her when I was young. But she left to study abroad when she was 14 years old, and we lost touch afterward

It’s been more than a decade since I last saw her. She still feels like a stranger to me, even though she’s been back for a year now.” 

Then, Nathan went into the bathroom and shut the door behind him while he washed up for bed

Nonetheless, Nathan’s words didn’t comfort Suzanne enough. She was still hurting inside

In fact, Suzanne couldn’t help thinking that she was the third wheel. After all, Nathan and Sally had known each other since they were kids, and they had both liked each other for a long time

If Suzanne hadn’t suddenly appeared out of the blue, Nathan would have married Sally by now. So what was the point of her struggling and trying to keep this marriage afloat

The cold breeze hit Suzanne’s face, making her heart grow cold

She went back into the room and dimmed the lights. She wanted to go to bed before Nathan came out of the bathroom

Usually, she would be able to fall asleep after lying still for a while. But she couldn’t fall asleep that night, no matter how hard she tried. Maybe it was because Nathan was there

As soon as she closed her eyes, her mind would start wandering elsewhere

About 15 minutes later, she vaguely heard the sound of the bathroom door opening. Nathan walked toward her and carefully got into bed

Then, the entire room was plunged into darkness

The man she loved was lying just a few feet away from her, and yet she felt as if they were both separated by an ocean

Suddenly, Nathan’s phone buzzed with a notification

Suzanne stiffened. Her hearing senses were heightened in the dark

Nathan felt for his phone and tapped on the notification. It was a voice message from Sally

He played the message. Sally’s soft, sickeningly sweet voice sounded in the room. Nate, I’m scared. Can you come here and stay with me?” 

Nathan then took his phone and pulled the covers away. He stood up, left the room, and closed the door behind him
